By: Material type: TextTextSeries: FAO Field document ; 1/1989Publication details: Rome, Italy Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations 1989Description: 1 pdf file (30 p.)Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: A report prepared for project PNG/85/001 Sepik River fish stock enhancement project This document serves to provide a brief and simplified outline of previous aquaculture and inland fisheries activities within Papua New Guinea (PNG). The present analysis of previous attempts to develop aquaculture and freshwater fisheries is made in order to identify the factors behind the success and failure of previous projects and fishery activities. This is highly relevant to the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project because previous experiences relate to the rationale for stocking and indicate problems and successes arising through alternative options (other than stocking) for developing this fishery. This document discusses all previous inland fisheries and marine and freshwater aquaculture activities in PNG, including areas outside of the Sepik (and Ramu) River basins.

A report prepared for project PNG/85/001 Sepik River fish stock enhancement project This document serves to provide a brief and simplified outline of previous aquaculture and inland fisheries activities within Papua New Guinea (PNG).

This is highly relevant to the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project because previous experiences relate to the rationale for stocking and indicate problems and successes arising through alternative options (other than stocking) for developing this fishery.
